Schlich medal (Australian Forestry School, ACT)

by John Dargavel

Sir William Schlich (1904–1925) was a famous German forester who became Inspector-General of Forests in India. He established the forestry course in the Royal Indian Engineering College at Coppers Hill (UK) and founded the School of Forestry in the University of Oxford. A Memorial Fund was established in Oxford to recognise outstanding contributions to forestry in a number of countries including Australia, New Zealand, UK, USA and Canada.

A medal was awarded annually to the outstanding forestry student in the Australian Forestry School (from 1928) and the Australian National University. It was not awarded in other Australian institutions.
